The Gold Coast International Film Festival (GCIFF) will be returning this fall for its sixth year to celebrate the films and filmmakers who capture our imaginations on the big screen. From Nov. 10 to 15, all are invited to enjoy the best major and independent releases, filmmaker conversations, parties and awards.
This year’s festival events, many of them free, will include screenings of more than 50 feature-length and short films from multiple countries, dozens of Q&As with prominent filmmakers and celebrities, parties, family-friendly events and a glamorous Opening Night Gala benefiting the nonprofit Gold Coast Arts Center, a vibrant multi-arts institution founded in 1993, which produces year-round cultural classes, exhibits, concerts and programs that bring music, art, theater, film, dance and educational experiences to the community.

The late submission deadline is Monday, Aug. 15, and the final deadline is Thursday, Sept. 1. Official submission requirements and guidelines can be found at www.goldcoastfilmfestival.org.
